Comment on Malware surging on mobile platforms – Android heavily targeted. by one2one

Dan,

Good question. A couple things to keep in mind is that traditionally, the only way to get malware on your mobile devices is by downloading and installing an app from the app store your device uses that is already infected. And that you can protect yourself by using an anti malware or antivirus software that you can also download at your devices app store. Many of the major antivirus software manufacturers like Symantec and McAfee have apps available in all of the major app stores.

I have also heard that Google can detect if your system is infected (see here) but even so, they would never be able to detect all forms of malware and I have not tried using them on a mobile device in that manor. To be safe, I’d look for your prefered antivirus software in your app store.

Hello,

Thanks for the great post. It makes me aware and more careful on my 7″ Samsung Galaxy Tab. But what’s the solution? If you can recommend some ideas for protection and good apps to scan for malware that would be great!

Thanks,
Dan Trusty

Two questions:
1. Where is the best place to take an old tower and printers to recycle?

2. What is the best software program for efax?

Comment on Facebook Phishing by Tony Nau

I recently came across some of these Phishing posts on Facebook and commented that they were potentially a Phishing attack. Some of the responses were disturbing. It seems that a lot of people believe that if you don’t have a virus on your computer, you cannot be hacked. Others seem to have the attitude that most of your information is on your profile anyway, on Facebook, so what is the harm in posting some more info.

In reality your banking sites, your internet email, even your Netflix account could have its password reset using the information gleaned from these seemingly innocuous posts.

I had a friend comment that she uses random numbers to answer these types of security questions, ex. Q: Where were you born? A: 2795632. Q: What Street did you grow up on? A: 3167532. It certainly makes it more difficult for you to remember the answers to the security questions, but it makes it virtually impossible for someone to guess it. You might even try just using inaccurate information. If you are born in Lancaster, PA say that you were born in Uniontown, PA. This way, if someone knows where you were actually born, they could not use that against you.
